for questions about sequences and series, e.g. convergence, closed form expressions, etc. Note that there is a different tag for spectral sequences, and also note that MathOverflow is not for homework. Please consider consulting the online encyclopedia for integer sequences, if you are trying to identify a given sequence that you have found in your research.

A curious series related to the asymptotic behavior of the tetration
The tetration is denoted $^n a$, where $a$ is called the base and $n$ is called the height, and is defined for $n\in\mathbb N\cup\{-1,\,0\}$ by the recurrence
$$
{^{-1} a} = 0, \quad {^{n+1} a} = a^{\ …

An explicit series representation for the analytic tetration with complex height
Tetration is the next hyperoperation after more familiar addition, multiplication and exponentiation. It can be seen as a repeated exponentiation, similar to how exponentiation can be seen as a repeat …

A conjecture about certain values of the Fabius function
The Fabius function is a smooth monotone function $F:[0,1]\to[0,1]$, satisfying functional equations
$$F(0)=0, \quad F(1-x)=1-F(x)\tag1$$
and
$$F'(x) = 2 \,F(2 x) \quad \text{for} \,\, 0<x<1/2.\tag2$$ …

Reconstructing analytic tetration with a complex height from a thinner set of points
This is a follow-up to my previous question An explicit series representation for the analytic tetration with complex height.
Recall the definition $(11)$ from there:
$$t(z) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \sum_ …

Numbers that are generic w.r.t. exponentiation
This is a follow-up to my old question Number of distinct values taken by $x\hat{\phantom{\hat{}}}x\hat{\phantom{\hat{}}}\dots\hat{\phantom{\hat{}}}x$ with parentheses inserted in all possible ways.

An elementary expression for $_3F_2(1,1,9/4;2,2;-1)$
Use formula 16.5.2 from DLMF:
$$_3F_2\left(1,1,\frac94;2,2;-1\right)=\int_0^1{_2F_1}\left(1,\frac94;2;-t\right)dt=\frac45\int_0^1\frac{1-(1+t)^{-5/4}}tdt=\\\\\frac{2}{5}\left(8-4\sqrt[4]{8}+\pi-6\ln2+ …

What Are Some Naturally-Occurring High-Degree Polynomials?
I was recently amazed by an answer to this question.
I encountered another curious fact while working with hypergeometric functions. The following absolute value of a complex-valued $_4F_3$ function: …

Series whose convergence is not known
Convergence of $\sum_{k=1}^\infty (-1)^k \frac{k}{p_k}$ is unknown, where $p_k$ is k-th prime (Guy 1994, p. 203; Erdős 1998; Finch 2003, according to Eric Weisstein's MathWorld).
